Re: Better call Saul.

The Wire and The Sheld were also excellent .

I’d say The Wire is the best series I’ve ever seen. Just pips The Sopranos for me.
My top 5

The Wire
Sopranos
Breaking Bad
BCS
Gomorrah

Re: Better call Saul.

I'm hearing some good stuff about 'Severance'. Anyone seen it?

Re: Better call Saul.

I'd rate Breaking Bad as possibly the best series ever (I also loved Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes from the UK and The Bridge and The Killing from Scandinavia about as much). While I wouldn't rate Better Call Saul quite as highly it's still superb. Bob Odenkirk is a great actor. His film Nobody is well worth a watch. Very quirky.

We finished BCS when the last episode was released and are now rewatching BB.

Re: Better call Saul.

It’s ridiculously slow and nothing happens but couldn’t stop watching it.

Nothing happens ?!! SPOILER ALERT - What about when Howard was unexpectedly shot in the head by Lalo in front of Kim and Jimmy for just talking out of turn. Excellent series - better than breaking bad.

Jimmy's brother also bowed out quite spectacularly I'd say.

Re: Better call Saul.

In my opinion, there are four truly great television series. By this I mean an on-going story, not the sort of thing where you have a different story each episode. The four are: Breaking Bad, Game of Thrones, Better Call Saul, and The Sopranos.
BB and GoT start fast, and they keep going at pace right to the end. BCS and TS start slow, and build to a crescendo.
Because of that difference in pacing, they may seem inferior, but they are probably the better series overall, because their pace allows so much detail and back-story to emerge. So Saul is slow, but much more detailed. The rise and fall of a gifted but deeply flawed individual.
I heartily recommend anyone who has not seen these four series, to try to watch them. They are all marvellous television.

Spot on loved them all :thumbup:

Re: Better call Saul.

Completely agree with three but I haven’t seen GoT next on my list maybe.

I know a lot of people put the wire up with those 4 but haven’t got round to that.

I’d also agree the last 3 seasons of BCS are the best (I’d say it’s all great mind) but there is an episode early on about Mike’s son which I’d put up there with all the BB and BCS episodes.

The Wire is not as good IMO, but not far behind the four.

Highly recommend Sons Of Anarchy
